Thanks guys.
Like most patents and patent drawings- it makes my head spin.

It is a cool idea, and basically very simple- when one moves the safety lever and the safety bar rises, it connects to an added lever that pulls the hold open down.

Mr. Martz thought that having to pull the toggle back to release the hold open was a "defect", I'm not sure; but his MSTR would sure make it easier to close the toggle on an empty magazine when the mag is latched in place.

I can see how he does it, but it would be a lot, a huge lot, of work to accomplish.

The member that wanted a .45 Marz should jump on that one at CC's; they don't grow on trees and no more will be made. RIP - JVM.
